Hm.  Bean hasn't replied, so maybe you were talking to me?  I'm not
opposed to trying, but I don't know what update-grub is designed to do.
Remember, I've never actually installed grub2 to a disk or even attempted
it, so I know nothing about the grub2 infrastructure.  I just boot grub2
from grub1 and admire the result :o)
